I noticed the drive level for AM has dropped. This causes my amp to only drive to about 50 watts on AM when I am used to driving it to 150 watts on AM. I sent this into dits n bits. I have read about
Has anyone talked to Ten Tec about the RX AGC noise? I sent an email, but have not heard anything yet. I tried adding a little hang time, which helped some, but it caused me to have a hard time heari
I have confirmed the same raspy RX audio on both versions on my radio. However, I do not have this with V2.056 or previous V2 software. I also talked to Ten Tec and they said they are not able to rep
Well, since everyone has had a few weeks to play with the new AGC settings on the new firmware V2.059, I was wondering what everyone has settled with on the AGC settings on each speed (slow, med, fas
Dave, Congratulations on your new Orion!! This is a reminder of myself last year at the Ten Tec Hamfest.... I bought one from them but had to wait until Janurary before I actually got the radio (some
What a great hamfest! It gets better each year! I was so glad to meet folks I have QSOed with on the air and exchanged ideas here! It is also great to participate in the "hands on" tent to check out
I did not get a specific response from anyone who is using my same audio set-up on the Orion Classic. Again, my current audio chain is a Heil PR-40, W2IHY 8 band equalizer, and the W2IHY EQPLUS. I am
OK, I am almost using the same settings for V1 except for the 50 and 100. For V1 I set them at 6 and 0. In V1 I have the mic gain set at 50 and the TX EQ is flat. I also run the bandwidth at 3000 and
One other thing I have read on previous posts is that b3 and b5 also might have a problem with the front-end filters not kicking in at the correct BW. I have used b3 and b5, but do not know how to te
I love to work CW and want to make sure I have a clean signal. I had heard I need to increase my CW rise/fall time to prevent keyclicks. I have mine set for the max in the menu to 10ms. I usually do
I have asked this question early on, with the initial release of v 2 firmware for the Orion I, but never got a reply. Now that time has passed, has anyone found a good setting for the W2IHY 8 bander,
Make sure this is not RF. Maybe this is the same power supply you have used with other 100 watt equipment in the past. Does it do it on all bands? Just wanted to make sure this gets brought into the
I run 800 watts into a Carolina Windom. I have had some RF issues when using a Jupiter, Orion I, and even my old radios (Icom 746PRO and 756PRII). I find there seems to never be a silver bullet that
Mine does the same thing. I have even noticed not a dead reciever, but a "desensitized" receiver. When switching between headphones and external speaker, I always just turn off/on the rig when using
Anyone have experience with this receiver? How does it compare to the sub rcvr on the orion or jupiter? how does it compare to other shortwave receivers? Any gotchas? Thanks, Mark
I have been playing with the new firmware version with the Orion I. I use the W2IHY box with a Studio One mic (even the Kenwood 870 guys compliment the audio of the Orion). In the past, I had the mic
I got the chance to see the new mics at the Charlotte Hamfest this weekend. Ten Tec was among the manufactuers represented at the Charlotte hamfest along with Yaesu, Kenwood, MFJ, Ameritron, and Alin
Anyone been playing with new settings for the Orion I since you have loaded the newest firmware? I am interested in your settings for the TX EQ, the W2IHY settings, and how you have the EQ Plus set i
Update so far. Loaded the beta code on the original Orion. Did a master reset. Immediately, the display is much dimmer and the contrast must be set to about 42. The sweep display works great. Mine ha
See my previous note dealing with V2 beta upgrade. I went and loaded the beta again just to make sure the TX audio was truly different. V2 beta does change the TX audio; I bypassed my W2IHY equipment
